Updated at work

So, here I sit at work, waiting for my boss Annie to find any breaks in my code -- I think it's pretty solid, so whee. I really have nothing to do until she gets back to me with that. Or something.

And so I'm sitting here with my headphones on listening to 'Lose Yourself,' and trying to get inspired to write some. I think I may actually be on my way to getting something of a start to my book. Or something. We'll see. Anastasiya sparked a bit of creativity last night, and I think I know how to get from PointA to PointB now. Next, PointC!

She was supposed t'come down this weekend and go to a Darksteel booster Draft with me and The Guys, but she's having second thoughts... She wants to spend some time with Joel, it seems. And, of course, her dad still doesn't like me. Heaven forbid she be friends with a Catholic Boy, y'know... Sorry, I'm a bit angry about that spot. Maybe I'll come back to it... But, yeah, I donno that she's gonna come down now, which is kind of a shame, because we had a great time last weekend, and I was looking forward to it... But, so long as she doesn't do anything foolish, it's her life to live, and I won't hold that against her...

It seems this Year ends on May 7th. Which means we'll be a few days out of Exams when I turn 21. Whee, or something. April 30th is the last day of classes.

And I think that's all I have to say right now... Whee, let's see about more brainstorming...

Um ... I am afriad I have lost track. Are you two together now or not? Just curious. If it is no longer romantic, I don't see why Dad would have a problem. Personally, I don't see why he would if it IS still romantic, but maybe that is because I have never been a Dad. Or something.

Well, see, that's the problem, I guess -- he's afraid it is still romantic. And I'm sure that [really] scares him, but the fact of the matter is that it's not romantic anymore, at least not from my point of view... I have no intentions on her other than friendship. Though, I don't *know* her take on it, and it can't help things that my notion of 'romance' is so off from the rest of the world... Anyways, he doesn't want his little girl with a Catholic boy because, and I get the impression that the because has more to do with him than it does with her, and that's part of what gets me angry...

Well far be it for me to bash anyone's religious beliefs, it's just not in me. However, I don't mind folks saying that I tend to talk negatively about someone's parenting skills. I do that all the time. Not that I'm always right, so far from it. The thing here is that one of these days she is going to stop letting him make such decisions for her. When that happens, he is going to be shocked to see her stand up for herself. But, what do I know?

the issue isnt that your catholic, its that i'm firends with my ex, and that he has the feeling that I should move on. He has not problem iwth you, just with the situation, had you been Jewish the same issue would arise. (not exact same, but simmular) ... more on this later... see ya in a few.
